50% Of European Anti-Semitic Crime has roots in radical Islam

Something I and many others have known for a long time, but never found an 'official' source.

EU official: Half of European anti-Semitism related to radical Islam

some 50 percent of anti-Semitic incidents on the European continent are connected to radical Islamic elements, according to a senior European Commission official.

The figure comes from European Commissioner for Justice, Freedom and Security Franco Frattini, who is responsible in the EU for combating racism and anti-Semitism in Europe. Frattini mentioned it in a conversation with Minister for Diaspora Affairs Isaac Herzog last week, and said it was based on European Union reports.

Frattini was in Israel last week for the Second European Union-Israel Seminar for Combating Racism and Anti-Semitism at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem.

Herzog, who is responsible for coordinating government activities in combating anti-Semitism at the cabinet level, told The Jerusalem Post that it was "not new that Frattini relates a large percentage of anti-Semitic incidents to radical Islam, and it's important to say, not Islam as such."

According to Herzog, European governments are responding to this "aggressively," including educating Muslim imams throughout the continent on "European values, principles of democracy, the rights of women and the like."

Besides dealing with the radical Islamic source of a large part of anti-Semitic activity in Europe, European and international institutions are beginning to respond to anti-Semitic discourse through education, according to the minister.

Obvious, really. It would be interesting to see where the other half comes from. Probably the racists who are far right.

It is obvious, yet no one says it.

Which usually leads to it being pinned on the native Euros. "What's wrong with us Europeans" ect ad nauseum.

it's an interesting source though...

The Jerusalem Post....

go to its home page..

you can see the "Jewsish world" and "Iranian Threat" section.

**Captain Arrrgh!** · April 04, 2008, 11:32 AM

Ahhhh...That explains everything.

**Heinz Guderian** · April 04, 2008, 11:33 AM

Franco Frattini is an ass. He wants to ban video-games cos they corrupt our little minds.

Reports on Gamespot showed he was seeking a Europe-wide ban on videogames. (see wiki)

I dont want to move to Dubai just to play M2TW.

it's an interesting source though...

The Jerusalem Post....

maybe its an Iranian funded Islamic Radical Video Game Cabal thats spreading across Europe.

Who goes around collating this nonsense?
"Excuse me sir, we're doing a poll, but are you an antisemite? Yes? Oh, and are you brown? Thankyou, have a nice day."
Would you guys stop believing this crap and being led around by the nose?

Frattini is a very unbiased minister who fights anti-semitism with democracy and peaceful talks. I trust in what he says, but I don't know whether what he said was taken out of context - needless to say, a better source would be appreciated.

That puts the moron in oxymoron.

I am more worried that 50% of anti-semitic crime is not committed by radical islamists.

Me too actually. And yes, by outsiders (US sources mainly) anti-semitism and anti immigrant sentiments in Europe are often lumped together and ascribed to native xenophobes (the following of Haider, De Winter, Le Pen and Wilders to name a few) As if it were inconceivable that one religious/cultural/ethnic minority would hate another. Obviously anti Israel sentiments are prominent in the immigrant communities from Arab countries, and we all know how easy it is to confuse anti-semitism with anti-Israeli sentiments, don't we? Not in the last place to those who practice them.

To my ear 50% sounds like an estimate. But the point is not whether it in reality is 48% or 53%, the point is that it is completely disproportionate when compared to the demographics.

What annoys me most that articles and reports concerning the rise of anti-semitic crime in Europe usually don't mention the Islamist factor, thus pinning the guilt on native Europeans.

Then someone progressive has a hissy fit and writes an article about how Europeans haven't learned anything since the second world war and on it goes.

Or 10% who knows. The number of hate-crimes committed by neo-nazis out there are completely out of proportion to their numbers.

What annoys me is that there is too much anti-Muslim porn out there. Funny how official EU documents flush out the true facts.
